Summary:                    No license statemement in the sound tarballs
Description: 
I just packaged the en/es/fr sounds in an rpm
(http://www.provocation.net/rpms/ ) and put "GPL" as the license in lack of
better. Obviously, the GPL works for code, not for sound recordings. No
matter how I search the websites though, I can't find any reference to a
license for the sounds. Strictly speaking, when no explicit license to
redistribute is given, copyright applies and redistribution is forbidden.
This is not a good situation, so perhaps you could add a CC license or
similar to the CREDITS-asterisk-core-<lang>-<version> files.

You are correct; GPL is not an appropriate license for content files of
this type.

I have been working with our licensing team for months trying to get this
resolved, but as yet don't have an appropriate license to put into these
sound file packages. I have asked them once again to put something together
for me and I will update this issue once it has been taken care of. I can't
promise any time frame though... it's been months already since I began the
process.
